Baby Horse Is Orphaned At Birth. But Then SHE Lies Down Next To Her… Amazing!

I learned that you can tell what emotions a may horse be feeling by looking at his ears. The only one I remember is that if their ears are pinned against their heads, the horse is angry! But horses are can experience grief too. Dr. Patrick Brogan is a horse fertility specialist from the Netherlands, and he founded the company Equiception.

Less than one week ago, Zindita gave birth to a foal at Equiception, but unfortunately, her foal didn’t survive. Zindita’s own life was in danger during the birth because the baby was upside down, but Dr. Brogan was able to save her life.

Despite all his efforts the baby was stillborn. Zindita was devastated. Just two days after Zindita lost her baby, another foal was born to a Tolanda, and she had died from complications during labor, leaving behind the foal.

The doctors at Equiception decided to see if the two horses could bond and be a family. They introduced Zindita to the foal on June 10th, she and the foal made an instant and strong connection!

The picture of the two taken just an hour after they were introduced went viral. The two looked like they were mother and daughter and Zindita started to groom the foal and kept her close! The filly was named Listen Good (Feel Good x Tolanda).

Dr. Brogan said it is rare for a mare to accept another foal with such love; most mares will be aggressive to foals that are not their own. But, Zindita fell in love with the foal instantly!

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Stop holding the (2018) Yulin dog meat & lychee festival in Yulin, (Guangxi) China.

This "festival" is an event that starts on June 21st of every year during the summer solstice and it lasts for 10 long horrifying days in which 10,000–15,000 dogs (as well as cats) are tortured and then consumed. However, it is estimated 25 million dogs are stolen, sold, bought, and eaten every year with the illegal dog and cat meat trade. A larger percentage of these dogs consist of pets stolen right from their loving families. The rest of the dogs are captured strays from the streets and some raised in dog farms. After these animals are stolen, bought, or captured they are then transported for days without any food or water, crammed in tiny cages together so tightly that they are unable to even move. At the yulin festival, throughout those days, these animals will be hung, burned, skinned, boiled, torched, dismembered, electrocuted and beaten...ALIVE..out in the streets for public view. But If that isn't bad enough, they intentionally torture these animals in f...

Dead Sea Turtle Washes Ashore With Horrifying Wake-Up Call For All Humans

Smokey the Bear told us we were responsible for preventing forest fires. Crime dog McGruff helped us take a bite out of crime. Woodsy the Owl told us to “Give a hoot, don’t pollute.” It’s that last one humans seem to have a big problem with. Where a wizened old owl’s advice has fallen short, however, the tragic image of a dead Kemps Ridley sea turtle with a beach chair stuck to its back may prove more compelling. An eye-opening illustration of the damage human pollution has done to our oceans, images of this tangled turtle have been sweeping across the internet, first posted by  Fort Morgan Share the Beach , a local chapter of the Alabama sea turtle protection nonprofit Share the Beach. The story these pictures tell is a dark one which, wildlife advocate or not, is hard to ignore. Source:  Facebook/Fort Morgan Share The Beach The turtle was dead when it washed up onto the shore. “There was a heavy string around the chair that wrapped around the turtle’s neck,”...
